Encyclopedia > NES Advantage

The NES Advantage was a large joystick sold for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the 1980s. The device was meant to rest on a flat surface at a comfortable level, such as a tabletop or the floor while seated in front of it. This way, it could be used much as an arcade joystick and buttons are used—with both hands, one for the joystick and the other to manipulate the buttons.


The Advantage was a rather advanced controller for the time, with variable-speed turbo that could be flipped on or off with a button, pseudo-slow motion (basically toggling the Start button rapidly), and the ability to plug into both controller ports (useful for games that had alternating two-player mode, like Super Mario Bros.).


The joystick makes a brief appearance in the movie Ghostbusters II where it is modified to control the Statue of Liberty.
